One of the main attractions in Onomichi is the long “shotengai”, or shopping street. Despite the old Showa Era atmosphere, this street is still full of life, activity and of course plenty of good shopping opportunities. Despite the modest size of Onomichi, this city has a surprisingly long and interesting shopping street. Stretching over one kilometer from start to finish, the Onomichi Hon-dori, on some signs also referred to as Center-gai or Onomichi-dori, is a classic Showa Era shopping street, covered with a semitransparent ceiling that will give you some much appreciated shelter on rainy days, and is full of old shops. Not far from the western end of the shopping street, towards the JR station, is a small open space where various events such as a local farmer's market and music performances are arranged from time to time Address: Onomichi Honmachi Center Shopping street Shinko Union Hiroshima Onomichi-shi Tsuchido 1-7-7 #travellikealocal #japan #urbanexplorer

If you’re looking to visit Japan on a budget I’d strongly recommend checking out Hiroshima, it’s a wonderful city that doesn’t get enough praise for how budget friendly it is. It has a dark history but it’s turned into a lively and eclectic city with a huge food and shopping scene. ⭐️ Trains - We got the Shinkansen here from Osaka and it was a lot cheaper to do a train with stops. It only added 90 minutes to the journey but cost us half the price. The ticket agent will help you find cheaper tickets if you’re willing to do stops! ⭐️ Hotels - There are not as many options here compared to other cities in Japan so I stayed at a local boutique hotel. The rooms are small and there are not as many amenities as name brand chains but they’re great for a few days! we stayed in the Kiro hotel in Nishihiratsukacho. ⭐️ transport - the best part about Hiroshima is how compact The city is and you can walk to most of the hot spots. We only used transport when it rained. Everything else we walked to, so a great way to save money! ⭐️ Food - we didn’t have any issues here with food, even the more premium meals we had were very well priced and great quality. To save money head to Hondori! One of the biggest covered pedestrian streets I’ve seen, hundreds of street food vendors and restaurants. We came here everyday as we saw so much we wanted to try! There is also Korean BBQ / Sushi / teppanyaki on the side street if you want to spend more money. ⭐️ Nature - Hiroshima is a very green and beautiful city so a lot of our time was spent exploring and enjoying this. And that’s amazing because nature is free! 💚 #cheaptravel #citydaytours #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #localfood #japan #hiroshima #budget #cheap
